Are You One of Them?

Posted on December 1, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Where did This Word Came From?

Posted on November 29, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Gaslighting Honestly, one day you’ve never heard of a word, and the next it’s everywhere. How does that happen? Gaslighting is a colloquialism, loosely defined as manipulating someone so as to make them question their own reality. The term derives from the title of the … Continue reading →

Tiffany: the Best Thing Out of Their Union

Posted on November 24, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Marla Maples (October 27, 1963) It’s a strange thing to experience: a complete blank of history in the middle of the time I was living in the United Kingdom. So, to be clear, I knew nothing about this woman, Donald … Continue reading →

We (Finally) Have Lift-Off

Posted on November 16, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Artemis I Launch (November 16, 2022) It took some time to get it right, but (so far) it’s going without a hitch. But is there trouble ahead? That Yod, pointing at Mars, formed by inconjuncts to the Sun and Pluto, … Continue reading →

And The Results Are (Not Quite) In…

Posted on November 13, 2022 by cdsmiller17

The 2022 American Midterm Elections It’s a very nebulous business, predicting elections. Obviously, the pundits got it wrong, but Michael Moore didn’t. Also, Cash Peters looked at a lot of individual races, and although he never sees who wins or … Continue reading →

Delusional: Believing Your Own Election Hype

Posted on November 9, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Kari Lake (August 23, 1969) I’m kidding, really, but wouldn’t that be a hoot? Kari Lake is a sketchy individual who hasn’t confirmed (or denied) when, where or what time she was born. We have to take everything on faith. … Continue reading →

Garry Trudeau was Mocking Donald Trump 35 Years Ago

Posted on October 25, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Yuge! (2016) I found this little gem of a retrospective look at 30 years of Doonesbury on Trump. I never knew. Twenty of those thirty years I was living in the UK and completely oblivious to the irony of it … Continue reading →
